Guess what I am about to start watching?
Yes, God of War. I need a proper sageuk in my life (Moon/Sun not being my cup of tea and, imo, not a 'proper' sageuk) and this seems freaking amazing. Plus, my sageuk guru

clairiere raves about it. Random comment - this is likely biased of me, but I always prefer my male sageuk leads to look like the gentleman up there, or Jang Hyuk or Lee Seo Jin or Song Il Gook or Oh Ji Ho or Park Shi Hoo - 30+ and manly-looking enough that I can buy them with facial hair and wielding a sword or commanding hordes of people. I mean, they don't have to look like the Hulk (and normally don't) but they can't be flower boys (whom I normally love). It's somewhat different for a fusion sageuk, but even there I have some limits - if it's a drama about scholars like Sungkyunkwan Scandal, fine or a teenaged masked avenger like Return of Iljimae, fine. But fusion or not, if the protagonist is supposed to be some sort of a warrior, he better look like one.

Date: 2012-02-26 01:43 am (UTC)I've seen the first episode and really liked it! No long drawn out childhood portion. It just throws you right into the action. I'm with you, I like grown up Sageuks. :) This one doesn't seem to be fusion. Just straight up Sageuk. With of course a cast of thousands, it will probably take me 10 or 15 episodes to figure out who everybody is. :) I recognize a lot of faces in this one. Several really good actors. Here's to hoping the writing etc. don't let us down.

Date: 2012-02-26 02:15 am (UTC)I hear you about the warrior men, sister; part of the reason MoonSun feels so Disney to me is that the protagonists look way too darn young to take seriously. Now I would totally not mess with Dae Gil from Chuno.
All the abs didn't hurt either.Bring on 2012's alpha men!from diorama
